you... expect me to remember how I shut down a computer in Jan 2009?? I can't 
remember what I had for breakfast yesterday!!
I saw that, noted it, but.. nah, not gonna boot windows just to find out. It 
would take 2 hours of updates just to get back to fully updated, and I'm sure 
my virus program has expired, so I'd have to install a new one and update 
IT.. not that my uptime is spectacular, but I see no reason to boot windows. 
My root & /home are on the original disk, but I rsync them nightly to disk#2, 
and occaissionally to my Mybook 500Gb USB drive, AND save my pictures to a 
few DVDs..
